Phex is a peer to peer file sharing program running on the Gnutella Network. It's available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and other operating systems supporting Java 1.4 or later.
Phex supports the latest Gnutella protocol, swarming downloads, multiple searches and many other advanced features.

Phex 2.8.8 focuses on bug fixes and optical improvements. We present Phex with a new set of icons, which we hope are more appealing to you then the old icon set. Additionally we solved a few problems with firewall detection and the OSX release.
Very likely Phex 2.8.8 will be the last release supporting Java 1.4. From now on development will switch the to Java 5 and it will be required for the next major release Phex 3.0. Major or critical bugs might be back ported to the Phex 2.8.x release line, but this will have low priority. If you are interested in maintaining a Java 1.4 release line, please contact us.... read more

Phex supports the latest Gnutella protocol, swarming downloads, multiple searches and many other advanced features.

In this release we completely removed the need of a network to connect to the Gnutella Network. Instead Phex now communicates with other Phex' via your speakers and notifies you of successful downloads by twinkling, bringing you an experience you won't ever forget, except maybe if you read these release notes on the day they where published :)... read more

We are proud to release version 2.4 of the Gnutella file-sharing program Phex.
Phex is a file sharing program running on the Gnutella Network. It will run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and other operating systems supporting Java 1.4.
Phex supports the latest Gnutella protocol, swarming downloads, multiple searches and many other advanced features.

The main improvement of this release is a new auto connect
host panel that allows you to configure new auto connect
hosts by yourself. This was introduced fast because
recently there is a problem to find a running standard auto connect host.

In this release some little GUI improvements and bug fixes
are added. But most important a major improvement was done
with fixing of errors for file resuming. Also the Phex
configuration files are now stored in a separate folder.

The release has been split into a binary release
(phex_0.5.5.zip) and a source only release
(phex_0.5.5_src.zip). If you are only interested in using
Phex just download the binary release. For developers the
source release might be interesting too.

Funny enough: exactly one month after the last release the next generation of Phex is now available. Some of the issues we heard over and over again have been adressed: the GUI-freeze-bug has been fixed, but what is more important is the greatly improved hostcatcher. Phex connects to the network in no time now. All in all Phex 0.5.3 is now more stable and more performant then all previous versions and you should really grab Phex 0.5.3 in the files section.

Some changes in the automated search bahaviour make Phex
a little less agressive towards the Gnutella-network.
A modification of the manifest allows users to start
Phex like before version 0.5.0 with the "java -jar phex.jar"
command.

Phex 0.5.1 is probably the most stable version ever released. We really listened to the overwhelming feedback to release 0.5.0 and tried our best to adress as many issues as possible. Numerous bugfixes and several improvements are the result and make it the best Phex available to date.
